Ariah and Bartholomew are characters who come to life on the pages. Hester does, too, but I really just wanted to wring her neck! Ms. Raddon's gifted writing weaves a poignant web of angst and emotion as well as paints vivid pictures of the seaside setting. Lovely, lovely storytelling. I will definitely read more of Ms. Raddon's stories. I'm sorry to see Forever Mine is out of print.
